Ancient Words
John Waller Lyrics

I am at Your feet
I humbly submit myself to You, my Lord

I'm on bended knee
I bow down in reverence and submission to You

You're my Father
You are my Heavenly Father, who loves and cares for me

I've become Your child
I am Your beloved child, adopted into Your family through faith in Jesus

I receive Your worth
I accept Your love, approval, and value over my life

By my right of birth
Because of my new birth in Christ, I am a rightful heir to Your promises

For Jesus, my brother, has broken
Jesus, who is my brother in the family of God, has defeated and canceled every curse that was on me and my ancestors

The curses of all generations
All the negative consequences of sin and evil that have affected my lineage have been removed by Jesus

By His blood, I can enter in
I can come boldly and confidently into Your presence and enjoy all the blessings of salvation, forgiveness, and adoption

To the blessing of Abraham
I receive the same blessings that You promised to Abraham and his descendants by faith in Christ

So place Your right hand upon my head
Please symbolically show Your authority, protection, and blessing upon me, as a father would to a son

And speak the ancient words
Declare Your truth, power, and promises over me through Your Word, which is timeless and enduring

Make our future, Lord
Guide us and bless us with Your wisdom, provision, and grace in all our dreams and plans

Ever fruitful, Lord
Help us to bear much good fruit in our service, worship, and witness to You and others

And our sorrows
Remove and heal all our past and present pains, hurts, and losses

May we soon forget
May You comfort and restore us to the point where we can let go of our sorrows and embrace Your joy and peace

Make Your countenance
Let the radiance of Your face and presence shine upon us, bringing us joy and strength

Now shine down on us
Please show us Your favor, grace, and glory, empowering us to fulfill Your purposes

For Jesus, our brother, was wounded
Jesus, our compassionate and suffering Savior, endured the pain and penalty of our sins and infirmities

For every curse that's been spoken
For every harmful word, action, or intention that has been directed against us, Jesus has already triumphed

So place Your right hand upon our heads
As Your redeemed children, we long to receive Your blessing, authority, and guidance in our lives and in the church

And speak the ancient words over us, Lord
Help us to hear and obey Your eternal Word, which is filled with promises, commands, and revelations from You

So cover us with ancient words
Protect us and fortify us with the divine truth that sustains and transforms us

Words that bless and break the curses of our fathers
Use Your Word to bless us and break any negative pattern or influence that has been passed down from our ancestors

Heal the wounds that have
Restore us to wholeness and health in body, soul, and spirit, so that we can fulfill our destiny in You

Lasted generations
Even the longest-standing wounds, pains, and injustices can be healed and redeemed by Your grace and power

Speak ancient words, over us
We need to hear Your prophetic, wise, and comforting words that come from the Ancient of Days, who knows all things

Ancient words, over us
Your words are not outdated or irrelevant, but eternal and life-giving, no matter where we are or what we face

Ancient words, over us
Let Your voice be heard in our lives, families, churches, and communities, bringing revival, hope, and purpose
